You might be in law school if…

With apolo­gies to Jeff Foxworthy.

  • If the joke you heard last night about Arti­cle 9 of the UCC had a punch­line based on Jus­tice Frankfurter’s opin­ion on stomach-pumping under the 4th Amend­ment… you might be in law school.
    • If you got the joke and laughed… you are def­i­nitely in law school… and you’re a geek.
  • If, some­where in your sub­con­scious, you feel guilty when you’re not car­ry­ing roughly 200 lbs of text­books… you might be in law school.
  • If you have dreamed of a § key on your key­board.… you might be in law school.
    • If you even know what the § sym­bol means… you might be in law school.
  • If you have ever com­plained that Bar­Bri is a monop­oly… you might be in law school.
  • If you have a stated pref­er­ence between West­law and Lex­is­Nexis… you might be in law school.
    • If you have run the exact same search through both… you are def­i­nitely in law school.
  • If you think a para­graph feels naked with­out the word “how­ever” or the phrase “in regard to”… you might be in law school.
  • If you have ever been asked a ques­tion which has no cor­rect answer… you might be in law school… or you might just be married.

IP Clinic, a retrospective

In case any­one who reads this blog is unaware, I’m a non-traditional law stu­dent. I work full-time and attend classes in the evening. The nor­mal time­line for evening stu­dents at my school is 4 years until grad­u­a­tion; I’m an impa­tient type, so I opted to take a full course load each sum­mer as well. This deci­sion — not nec­es­sar­ily good for my san­ity — cuts down the time it will take me to grad­u­ate by 2 full semes­ters (roughly one year).

Now that that’s out of the way, allow me to get to the point: I par­tic­i­pated in my schools Intel­lec­tual Prop­erty Clinic this sum­mer. For­merly based in an incu­ba­tor (it has since moved to a school cam­pus), the clien­tele ranged from authors to web-based busi­ness to bio-engineers to finan­cial audit­ing con­trac­tors.

I’m back

First of all, I’d like to thank every­one who con­tacted me about my blog being down.
I was in the midst of upgrad­ing Word­Press when I real­ized that I had no idea what I was doing. After finally fig­ur­ing out how to com­plete the upgrade, I no longer had time to do so.

Until now.

For the incred­i­bly few of you who occa­sion­ally glance at this blog, I hope to start post­ing again soon.
